GUYS, PAPER IS PRETTY AWESOME.

I didn't get to post origami last night because I was busy sharing My Very Important Thoughts On Writing and also eating all the garlic bread in the greater Chicago area. So I do have that to share, but first I wanted to share some links I've been compiling on the art of origami and of papercraft in general.

A bunch of people have linked me to Oritsunagumono, which fills me with covetous envy; I want some clear sheets with bones printed on them. I also want to see the exhibit, but I can't figure out where it is. Just guessing, but I think probably Japan somewhere.

lusse_kun linked me to some slightly more traditional origami, by Sipho Mabona, including an interview with the artist near the bottom. I love the koi; I want that fold, too. emyrldlady, meanwhile, linked me to Simon Schubert's work, which involves images made from creases, shadows, and light.

And then there's me and my sad little crown.

Well, it's fun, anyway.

The Doctor is very uncertain about this whole business, especially the lack of Jammie Dodgers.

megaleena left a comment a few days ago on a post where I talked about my obsessive-compulsive reading list, suggesting it would be interesting if I shared it. Easily enough done!

So, between email, work, and writing, ( this is what I read daily. )

For bonus points, ( this is my Monday additional reading list. )

Man. Reading it all laid out like that, I do kind of look like a politically apathetic dilettante, don't I?

I also read Chicago Magazine and The New Yorker, and the Monday edition of the Chicago Sun-Times, though I don't know if those are exactly points in my favour.

NEON GREEN STING RAY COMIN' ATCHA

I do not know why my camera sucks so bad. I think actually it's the lack of decent lighting wherever I go.

Also FYI step fourteen of that diagram is so baffling I ended up ignoring it and just folding the flaps down. SO THERE.
